Tasting notes from Luisa Ponzi, Director of Winemaking & Viticulture
2019 Laurelwood Chardonnay, 93 Wine Spectator & 93 James Suckling
“This gorgeous floral nose holds notes of white lavender and jasmine mingled with aromas of nutmeg, clove, white pepper and key lime. The mouth is a collage of meringue, peach, D’anjou pear and citrus surrounding a silky sweetness that lingers with a salty, slate minerality on the finish.”
2022 Pinot Blanc
“Spring in a glass! Fresh cut grass, sweet pea and dogwood flowers laced with powdered sugar and crushed granite lead to a palate of honeysuckle, sweet honeydew melon, Asian pear, and mango. Lovely tension and length with a beautiful salty and long finish.”
2022 Pinot Noir Rosé
“This floral nose of orange blossom, white lavender and chamomile complement the bright Rainer cherry and white peach notes which jump from the glass. The broad mouth expands the red fruit to cranberry spritz, watermelon and red plums. Juicy acidity and a lightly textured mouth linger until the next sip.”
